2022 Student Entrepreneurship Competition
Time to get serious
So your business idea has been formed, you’ve reviewed the market, strategised and you will either have drafted your business plan or are ready to commit this to paper. You’ll have a chance to win a cash prize to put your business on the map. You may only submit one entry.
Submissions open on 21 March 2022 and close on 31 March 2022.
Welcome to the 2022 Student Entrepreneurship Competition!
This competition will help
students and recent graduates take their business ideas forward by
securing cash prizes to invest in their ventures.
This year we are excited to be able to award 10 businesses with £1500 each! To identify these winning businesses the judges panel will ask students to use a platform called Validate to explain their business models and present a portfolio.
Participant will have the months of January, February, and March to develop and test their business models in the Validate platform and judges will review their portfolios in April.
